Considering something STUPID!
 

Since the wife expressed on our last outing that she wants a boat with a small cabin and a port a potti in it, I did the unthinkable and started looking for a bigger boat. The bad part is I think I found one I REALLY want. Came across a 75 FORMULA 233 cuddy that had a complete refit done in 07 with new stringers, deck and transom according to the current owner, and he is now selling it without the outboard. It already has a full transom with a bracket on it, but no trailer. He's asking $3500 and it's been for sale for awhile now at that price. And then I found a set of 04 250 EVINRUDES complete from keys to engines with one powerhead having 1000 hours and the other one has 200 hours on a factory powerhead and they both have warranty until 2011 for $6500 for the pair. Only problem is after buying the wife her PONTIAC G6 a few months back I am about broke:nut: and don't have the money right now to get em. I need to just shut my internet off so I can't keep finding deals like this:arrr:.

Here's the boat.:hide:

man, that is one nice Formula, you thinking about twin 250"s? Isn't that a little much?

It would fly but..
 

Probably gonna use 1 motor and have a spare, Spare.

That is a very nice boat. Would never know it is a 1972.

its a beaut for sure, and I have ridden in two of them, very nice ride

Did they put in scuppers or did they leave it to still drain into the bildge?

Don't you already have a 1984 V20 CC?

We have a porta potty in our CC, it fits nicely in the cavity.

However, I haven't had to use that "facility" yet so I can't comment about how comfortable it is.

It is absolutely hilarious when an adult has to use the porta-potti in my V20 cuddy because you have to close the door but open the hatch for headroom. Just seeing someone looking around out the hatch but knowing what they are doing just busts me up every time.

Nice looking boat but was it originally a I/O?

My V-20 is a project boat and will be up for sale here soon as I just don't have the time to do it. This one was origanally an I/O and the floor was raised up to add in scuppers and make it self bailing. The plan was too buy the hull and the 2 engines and then re-sell one of the 250's to offset the costs, but some have gone with twin 250's and say they have reached mid 70's for speeds:oh:. If I can sell my HYDRA-SPORTS I'd buy this one, but I simply don't have the money right now to do it.
